Soave
Endless vineyards and a cellar from the Napoleonic era
In northern Italy, half an hour from Verona at an altitude of only 40 meters from the sea, one of the most famous wines in Europe, the Soave wine, is produced. It is an Italian dry white wine which is a Protected Designation of Origin product. The wine takes its name from the homonymous village of Soave, which dates back to Roman times. Soave with a population of only 7000 thousand is the ideal destination for wine lovers. Arriving in Soave, the first thing one sees is the medieval castle that dominates the top of the hill above the village. The castle dates back to the 15th century as it was built by the Venetians. It is divided into three sections while on the first level one will find the ruins of a 10th century church. Then the visitor faces the village which is located at the foot of the hill. The village today is a mix of old and new as there are old buildings from the Napoleonic era as well as modern ones which blend harmoniously with the environment of the area.
